"Don't speak too soon!!!"
One sentence offended three countries.
Only Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent.
In an instant, the other three Kage turned their gaze to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Everyone else is condemning Shunsui Kyōraku, why are you just sitting there?
What could Sarutobi Hiruzen do? He had just been tormented by the Uzushigakure recently; he wasn't qualified!
However, Shunsui Kyōraku's arrogance, which instantly provoked public outrage, was also a result he liked to see.
He even wished Shunsui Kyōraku would be even more arrogant, striving to make the other three nations send troops to the Uzushigakure!
Just as the atmosphere became tense, Mifune spoke, "Everyone, since everyone is here, let's get down to business!"
If they dragged it out any longer, the venue fee the Raikage paid wouldn't be enough!
The Third Raikage snorted coldly but didn't continue to make trouble, taking the hint and backing down.
After all, he knew the true purpose of holding this Five Kage Summit.
It concerned the survival of the Land of Lightning, so he had to endure as much as possible.
Once this matter was over, he would definitely get his revenge!
Ōnoki and the Third Kazekage also remained silent.
The Third Kazekage was silent because Sunagakure was currently at war with Konoha and did not want to further antagonize the Uzushigakure, creating a powerful enemy.
Ōnoki was silent because he was old and even a slight major movement could strain his back.
He would try his best not to fight if he didn't have to.
Soon, the Five Kage Summit proceeded in a strange atmosphere.
Ōnoki spoke, "Alright, Raikage, please state the purpose of this meeting."
He no longer wanted to waste time; he was old and not suitable for long journeys.
The Third Raikage looked at everyone and then said, "The main purpose of this meeting is the new creatures that have appeared in the Ninja World, the Hollows!"
Speaking of Hollows, the Third Raikage subconsciously glanced at Shunsui Kyōraku.
He had always believed that Hollows were related to the Uzushigakure.
Whether it was Space-Time Ninjutsu or the ability to release ninja swords, both had striking similarities to the Uzushigakure.
Moreover, the Uzushigakure claimed to be irreconcilably opposed to Hollows.
But if they didn't have a guilty conscience, why would the Uzushigakure crusade against Hollows?
Perhaps these Hollows were the result of some inhumane experiments conducted by the Uzushigakure.
But the Uzushigakure denied it, and he had no evidence, so he could only let it go.
"Hollows?"
This word stunned everyone except Shunsui Kyōraku and Ise Nao.
It was as if they hadn't expected the Third Raikage to convene the Five Kage Summit so solemnly for such a matter?
Even if Hollows suddenly appeared and destroyed the Land of Grass, in their eyes, it wasn't worth such serious attention.
The Third Raikage immediately saw what they were thinking and said, "You must not underestimate them!"
"The ordinary Hollows are fine, but they also have intelligent humanoid Hollows!"
"These Hollows can even contend with Bijus!!"
"What?!"
"Impossible!"
"Raikage, if you keep making such jokes, then there's no need to continue this meeting."
The Third Kazekage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Ōnoki almost instantly denied the Third Raikage's words.
Joke, how could there be people in this world who could contend with Bijus?!
Since the deaths of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, it had been rare to see individuals capable of restraining Bijus.
The Third Raikage was not enraged by their denial.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have believed it either.
Fortunately, a new type of machine called a 'camcorder' had recently appeared in the Ninja World. The intelligence department studied it and found it very useful for recording intelligence footage.
So they purchased one.
It finally came in handy when the Hollows invaded the Land of Lightning.
"Buru."
The Third Raikage ordered, and Buru placed a machine on the conference table.
And hung a screen in front of the camcorder.
They were all familiar with camcorders, so they understood the Third Raikage's meaning.
Soon, footage from the Land of Lightning appeared.
The few people watched intently.
The Third Raikage also held nothing back. Since he was inviting the major nations to jointly fight the Hollows, sharing intelligence was unavoidable.
When the footage showed Grimmjow capturing the Two-Tails, their expressions finally became serious.
And upon seeing Yammy contending with the Eight-Tails, their hearts instantly sank.
"It's actually true..."
The Third Kazekage spoke first.
